Ashley Anderson, 28, and Shautaka Goode, 32, stuffed a garbage can with $900 in merchandise at the Walmart location on U.S. 1 before abandoning it, according to a release issued Tuesday by the Port St. Lucie Department.

The women, both of Hollywood, then drove to the Walmart store on Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard and stuffed another garbage can full of merchandise, police said.

The pair had more than $1,300 in property in a garbage can that was in a shopping cart, the police release said. After selecting what they had hoped to steal, Anderson waited in the store while Goode hustled off to get the car.

Officers were called and given a description of the getaway vehicle, and pulled the two women over a short distance later, where they found stolen items with tags still on them, and no receipts.
